Lena Waithe on “Twenties” and the Highs and Lows of Being Black, Queer, and Masc in Hollywood
“And the truth is, this is what I’ll say, if people don’t show up for Twenties, it will go away.”
JoJo Siwa Didn’t Win DWTS, But She Remains the Housedyke’s Favorite
I do wonder if it was all a bit too gay too soon for JoJo to win. It’s pretty incredible that despite knowing how many people would be up in arms about a same-sex pairing, no-one on the show ever shied away from foregrounding it at every given opportunity, which is a win in itself.
There’s Something About a Vulnerable Bad Boi With a Troubled Past
Would I make the mistake of falling for a Shane-type? Sadly yes.
There’s Something About a Commanding But Goofy Tomboy
Someone who stands up to meanies and also had a silly side has always done it for me.
I Can’t Believe Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Sex Show Actually Self-Helped Me
The Goop sex therapists’ techniques range from having the couples crawl around sniffing each other’s butts to exploring a handcrafted vulva model to that thing Bette Porter did with Candace the Carpenter in season one of The L Word where she had psychic sex with her using just her brain and her horniness.
On Blackness and “The L Word: Generation Q”
Black queer people are in this community. Trans queer people are in this community. And we deserve to get lost in a good time, too. We deserve fun, messy, sexy storylines. Just as much as any cis white woman over 50.
4 Autostraddle Writers Play a Non-Lethal Version of “Squid Game” — Kind Of
I have eaten a lot of squid! But I think batter can hide a multitude of sins. And also the real body shape of a squid.
“The Circle” Season 3: If Your Quarantine Life Was Suddenly a Game Show

Dua Saleh on “Sex Education,” Cal’s Sexuality, and the Trans Language Barrier

Good Trouble’s Sherry Cola on Queer Asian Love Stories and Making Her Mom Proud
“I literally feel taken aback at the fact that I am telling this story that has never been told, period. I challenge everyone to name one other TV show that portrays love between two Asian women. It does not exist to this level.”
Yes, Chaotic Queers Are Still Watching “The L Word: Generation Q” With Their Exes
“It will probably be sexy and unhealthy for both of us.”
Rosanny Zayas on Finding Empathy for Sophie, Wearing Shirts with “A Little Bit Too Much Titty” and Sneaking the OG L Word in High School
“Just because you are Latina, that doesn’t mean you have the same perspective in the world. We all have our own unique perspective in what we do and how we’re brought up or how we feel about things.”
Good Trouble EP Previews Alice’s 3B Storylines: “She’s Growing So Much”
“I think that Alice’s arc is to find her voice and to stand up for herself. She’s probably always been good about standing up for others, but not quite standing up for herself. So, in this respect, she stood up for herself and others and they didn’t stand up for her.”
Amity Smooches Luz as “The Owl House” Breaks More Disney Ground
OH MY MAGICAL BABY KITTENS, YOU’RE EACH OTHER’S FIRST GAY CRUSH.
Jen Richards on Changing Hollywood and the Projects That Don’t Get Made
“I can be very unchecked in my opinions. And I don’t regret it. I’ve told casting directors in the room that parts are problematic or that projects shouldn’t get made.”
